Workflows in Q-Revenue allow you to automate and standardize your sales outreach process. By defining a sequence of actions—such as emails, calls, SMS, and wait periods—you can ensure consistent engagement with prospects while improving efficiency and conversion rates.
This feature helps sales teams stay organized, reduce manual effort, and maintain a structured communication cadence across the pipeline.
What are Workflows?
A Workflow is a predefined sequence of steps that guides how and when your team interacts with prospects.
Instead of manually deciding the next action for every deal, workflows automate the process by:
- Scheduling outreach activities
- Defining communication sequences
- Ensuring timely follow-ups
- Standardizing sales execution
Workflows are especially useful for outreach campaigns, lead nurturing, and stage-specific engagement.
Key Components of a Workflow
When creating a workflow in Q-Revenue, you define several important elements:
1. Workflow Name
A clear name that identifies the purpose of the workflow
Example: Initial Outreach Cadence
2. Sales Cycle
Assign the workflow to a specific Sales Cycle so it aligns with your pipeline stages.
3. Stage (Optional)
You can tie the workflow to a specific stage (e.g., Proposal), ensuring it triggers only when a prospect reaches that stage.
4. Temperature (Optional)
Filter workflows based on deal temperature such as:
- Hot
- Warm
- Cold
This allows more targeted engagement strategies.
5. Description
Provide context about the workflow’s purpose and when it should be used.
6. Active Toggle
Control whether the workflow is active and available for use.
Workflow Steps
Workflows are built using a sequence of steps. Each step represents an action or delay in your outreach process.
Available Step Types
i. Send Email
Send an email using a predefined template.
Options include:
- Selecting an email template
- Creating a new template
- Enabling Auto-Send
- Using Outcome-Based Progression
ii. Wait Period
Introduce a delay between actions.
- Define wait duration (e.g., 1 day)
- Helps space out communication naturally
iii. Phone Call
Schedule or log a call activity.
- Attach call scripts
- Enable outcome-based progression
iv. Send SMS
Send a text message as part of your outreach.
v. Action Item
Create internal tasks or reminders for team members.
Step Configuration Features
Auto-Send
When enabled, emails or messages are automatically sent without manual intervention.
Outcome-Based Progression
Allows the workflow to move forward based on outcomes such as:
- Email opened
- Link clicked
- Call completed
This makes workflows more dynamic and responsive.
Drag-and-Drop Builder
You can:
- Add steps easily
- Reorder steps by dragging
- Remove steps when needed
This provides full flexibility in designing your outreach sequence.
Example Workflow
A simple outreach workflow might look like:
- Send Email (Introduction)
- Wait 1 Day
- Phone Call Follow-up
- Wait 2 Days
- Send Reminder Email
This ensures consistent and timely engagement without manual tracking.
